I don’t know if the poll is open or closed, but after I voted it said there were 74 voters and I had already voted in this poll.

I would so like to do some experiments on the Professor. 😃

Although I prefer Mary Ann overall, an expeiment with her and Ginger would not be out of the question.

> The question of which one men prefer has endured long after the end of the series. The question has inspired commercials, essays, videos, etc. By most accounts, the wholesome down–to–earth Mary Ann has outpolled Ginger by a sizable vote. Bob Denver (aka Gilligan), admitted he was a Mary Ann fan, and that when producers did polls, Mary Ann always beat Ginger, usually three to one. It has been cited that this angered Tina Louise (aka Ginger) greatly, who received only half the amount of fan mail that Dawn Wells (aka Mary Ann) received weekly. According to Bob Denver in a 2001 interview, Wells received 3–5,000 fan letters weekly, whereas, Ginger may have got 1,500 or 2,000.\*\*

That is kinda rough, but hey, it’s 1,500 fan mails a week. More than I get by about 1,500.

During the show they might’ve been pretty close (I still would’ve picked Mary Ann, tho), but Ginger damn sure aged a lot worse over the ensuing years than Mary Ann.

Sorry to go against the trend but I have a thing for redheads.
